If you are easy on camera bodies, like I am, no problem at all. I don't treat them like I'm a war correspondent. <g> So, plastic or not, if I simply recognize it's a very nice rudimentary point and shoot, I can make it work that way. It IS a nice camera. Simple is not bad... Like you did, put a regular or wide angle lens on it, and learn to use it as it is, you'll come to love it. Especially the more sturdy MG! keith > > William in Utah.
